Chapter 124: The Broad Market
What is more than eating a broader market, this is the most able to face ordinary people, such a bitter taste, can be eaten, they are more delicious, with a rich wheat fragrance of steamed bread, how can it not be popular? Most crucially, this is unobtrusive. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Soap is very good, the price is not high, and it can be used daily, after all, it is a new thing, it is completely different from bath beans, to promote, it needs to be promoted, and people can use it to discover its benefits.
Being able to be sealed as one of the three magic weapons by countless traversal texts, soap must have a huge role and market, but it takes time.
Zhao Xin's biggest lack now is time, steamed bread itself is an ordinary working people, often eat, because the price of wheat is lower than the price of rice, steamed bread has become an important food of preserved fruit.
The appearance of this steamed bun has a huge innate recognition, as long as people try out the benefits of this steamed bun, sales are almost not a problem.
At this moment, Zhao Xin's mood fluctuated and excited, and even had a feeling of madness, he was a little scared when he saw Ruyi, and Lu He also looked at Zhao Xin with a worried face, they knew that this steamed bun tasted bad, they were used to eating, and they all felt a little bitter, if they didn't eat it with vegetables, they really couldn't eat it.
Like Zhao Xin, it is completely hard to eat, and it is also terrible, Zhao Xin should be frightened by this taste, the first time he eats this thing, this taste is not very delicious, and it is very difficult to swallow it.
At this time, Zhao Xin was excited, and even hugged them tightly, and said with some joy: "Great, great, thank you!" ”
Watching Zhao Xin run away, he was still a little inexplicable, wishful, looking at the green lotus next to him, he said with some uncertainty: "What's wrong with the young master, did you take the wrong medicine, why are you so excited, is this steamed bun delicious?"
When steaming a large number of steamed buns, there will occasionally be some steamed buns with very good effects, but the number of these steamed buns is very small, and there are very few such steamed buns.
But picking up the leftover steamed bun that Zhao Xin ate and putting it in his mouth, the sour and astringent taste penetrated the taste buds, and there was no difference between the steamed bun he had eaten before, it was very difficult to eat, very difficult to eat.
The young master is so happy, is it because the skull is broken, Ruyi's little head is haunted by such thoughts, and everyone else is the same, if it is not for the sake of filling the stomach, who would like to eat steamed buns.
Zhao Xin is not a broken head, steamed bread is a big business, if it is done well, all the previous needs can be met.
The history of wheat cultivation in northern China began in the Tang Dynasty, but in the Tang Dynasty, it was not the main grain, but supplement, with the development of planting, wheat began to gradually replace millet and became the main grain in the north.
In the Song Dynasty, it was more common, wheat surpassed millet and became the most important food crop in the north, of course, it was not mainly steamed bread, but pasta, noodles, cooking cakes and other foods were popular in the world, becoming one of the most important grains in the north.
But if you want to say that the biggest role of pasta, in fact, it should be the category of steamed buns, they are simple and easy to make, and they taste good, supplementing a shortcoming of pasta, and becoming a traditional northern food against rice.
Steamed bread, according to legend, was invented by Zhuge Liang, with the help of natural lactic acid bacteria fermentation, so that the steamed bread becomes larger, much more than direct grain, and the nutritional value is also higher.
There are no lactic acid bacteria in this era, but the old noodles, that is, exposed to the air, are adsorbed by the lactic acid bacteria in the air, have a certain fermentation performance, and become a natural thing for the noodles, but because of the impure relationship, a lot of impurities of bacteria will turn part of the pasta into vinegar, that is, the steamed bread of this era, often has a sour taste, and the color is not outstanding, not white, some gray and dull.
Because of the difference in taste and appearance, to a certain extent, the steamed buns of this era are more eaten by the bottom people, and they will also become life-saving food for disaster relief in disaster years.
Zhao Xinzhong was excited and annoyed, how could he forget this thing, the people take food as the sky, and the Song Dynasty is even more so, Zhang Zeduan's Qingming Shanghe map, about the food things, I don't know how much, a bottom of the food, inconspicuous, but the coverage is very wide, and even in a certain sense, can earn a lot of wealth.
Steamed buns have never been low-profit, and after special processing, they are bigger and more hungry-resistant, and they have become a must-have food for ordinary people.
To solve the sour taste in steamed bread, in fact, it is very simple, most of the sour taste is caused by acetic acid, a simple method in later generations, acid-base neutralization reaction, you can solve this problem, this will not use the caustic soda in the three acids and two alkalis, the alkalinity is too strong, it is easy to cause inability to eat, and soda ash will be used.
Soda ash is a very widely used industrial product, which is used in many aspects, even in many aspects of glass, ceramics, and ceramic glaze.
Natural soda ash is either born in the salt pans in desert areas, where it used to be the ocean, after geological movements, after the vicissitudes of the sea, from the sea to the land, and after the sea water is evaporated, it becomes a large area of salt pans.
In the salt pans, a lot of salt is table salt, but there are also a lot of other inorganic salts, and natural soda ash is also among them.
In addition to these salt pans, some frankly enriched veins are also the main output of soda ash, because of the geographical relationship, Zhao Xin even knows that in the later Nanyang area, it is one of the largest soda ash mines in the whole of Asia.
Unfortunately, it was a vein deep in the mountains, and it had not yet been discovered, let alone mined.
Entering the card system and finding soda ash, when he was just flipping through it, he looked at it, and it seemed to light up the cards about soda ash, but when he really looked at it carefully, he found that the purity of soda ash was not enough.
The purity of natural soda ash is very high, in addition to soda ash, there are no other impurities, which is also the fundamental reason why soda ash can be added to steamed bread, but this soda ash that I don't know by what is lit up, only 7 percent of the purity, if it is only 7 percent of the purity, it is also acceptable, but in this, there are some toxic and harmful substances.
Also, natural soda ash, I don't know what is mixed, these should be directly made from the salt pan, containing some toxic compounds.
Purification, in the chemical field in later generations, is an important factor, the purity of a certain compound, directly affects the final product and chemical reaction.
If you build something else, such a 7% purity of soda ash can barely be used, but it can be used as an additive for steamed bread, which is not good, not to mention, there are toxic and harmful substances in it.
Zhao Xin chose steamed buns to make money, and by the way, with the help of sales, the intelligence of the entire Baozhou was integrated, these toxic and harmful substances are not good, in case of any serious consequences, the transaction was not done, and the reputation was ruined.
As for purification, insoluble impurities can be filtered, but most of the inorganic salts, which are also soluble in water, are not easy to clean up.
Zhao Xin came out of the card, slightly disappointed, but didn't care, directly using soda ash, but a tricky method, soda ash is a raw material level commodity, not only natural mineral deposits, how many natural mineral deposits, the real soda ash production, is through the chemical synthesis method, so that it is simpler, the purity is higher, at least, there are not so many toxic and harmful substances.
